Angels of Death

Space Marines are amongst the finest warriors in the Imperium.

And They Shall Know No Fear

Space Marines stand unafraid before the terrors of the galaxy.

Bolter Discipline

To a Space Marine, the boltgun is more than a weapon - it is an instrument of Mankind’s divinity, the bringer of death to his foes.

• The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
• The shooting model is INFANTRY (excluding CENTURION models) and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
• The shooting model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER.

Shock Assault

The Adeptus Astartes are elite troops who strike with the fury of a thunderbolt. Few opponents can withstand this onslaught.

Black Rage

When a Blood Angels battle-brother succumbs to the Black Rage, their doom is assured. Yet before they fall, their murderous ferocity, inhuman strength and near supernatural resilience make them a terrifying threat to any enemy who dares stand in their path.

• In your Movement phase, each time this unit is selected to move, it cannot Fall Back.
• Each time this unit fights, if it made a charge move or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, then until that fight is resolved, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in this unit.
• Each time a model in this unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 6 that wound is not lost.
• This unit cannot perform any Actions.

Inner Circle

Those with true knowledge of the Unforgivens history and quest for absolution are utterly intractable warriors who are implacable in their Chapter’s secret hunt for the Fallen.

• Each time a Morale test is taken for this unit, it is automatically passed.
• While this unit is within Engagement Range of any enemy FALLEN units, unless this unit has the VEHICLE keyword, this unit cannot be selected to Fall Back.
• Each time you select this unit to Fall Back, unless it has the VEHICLE, RAVENWING or CHAPTER MASTER keywords, roll 2D6: if the result is less than or equal to the unit’s Leadership characteristic it can Fall Back, otherwise it cannot Fall Back and must Remain Stationary instead.
• Each time an attack is made against this unit, if this unit has the INFANTRY keyword, an unmodified wound roll of 1-3 always fails, irrespective of any abilities that the weapon or the model making that attack may have.

Jink

The Ravenwing are undisputed masters of mounted combat, and make for fast-moving targets that are difficult to draw a bead upon.

• Models in this unit have a 5+ invulnerable save against ranged attacks. In your Movement phase, if this unit Remains Stationary, it loses this invulnerable save until the start of your next Movement phase.
• Each time this unit Advances, until the start of your next turn, models in this unit have a 4+ invulnerable save against ranged attacks.

Special-issue Ammunition

The Deathwatch utilise a range of specialised bolt shells in many of their weapons. From rounds that douse their targets in acid to hollow shells filled with superheated gas, each type is designed to eliminate specific xenos foes.

• Dragonfire Bolts: Each time an attack is made with a weapon firing this special-issue ammunition, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.
• Hellfire Rounds: Each time an attack is made with a weapon firing this special-issue ammunition against a unit that does not have the VEHICLE or TITANIC keyword, add 1 to that attack’s wound roll.
• Kraken Bolts: Each time an attack is made with a weapon firing this special-issue ammunition, add 6" to the Range characteristic and improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1 (this is cumulative with the Armour Penetration bonus conferred by the Combat Doctrines ability).
• Vengeance Rounds: Each time an attack is made with a weapon firing this special-issue ammunition, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of that attack.

Mixed Unit

When faced with an array of missions to complete and varying enemies to lay low, the Deathwatch are highly adept at forming effective kill teams that mesh starkly diverse armour and equipment.

• Deathwatch Terminator and Terminator models have the TERMINATOR keyword.
• Veteran Biker models do not have the INFANTRY keyword and instead have the BIKER keyword.
• Vanguard Veteran models with jump packs have the JUMP PACK keyword.
• Inceptor models have the JUMP PACK keyword.
• Outrider models do not have the INFANTRY keyword and instead have the BIKER keyword.

Berserk Charge

Still revelling in their transhuman adaptations, a Great Company’s aggressive young warriors plunge headlong into battle in a furious display of innate talent, rigorous conditioning and recklessness.

Headstrong

Unless tempered by the wise growls of a veteran, young blood claws eager to prove themselves will gladly plunge into any foe they can reach.

Swift Hunters

Perfectly adapted as unavoidable predators, the lupine allies of the Space Wolves easily outpace their doomed quarry.

Chapter Tactics

Each Chapter has its own combat philosophy suited to the unique skills of its battle-brothers.

Templar Vows

On the eve of battle, the warriors of a crusade gather together to be led in prayer and contemplation by their Chaplains. In their righteous zeal, united in their hatred of the foe, they swear a mighty oath to uphold in the battle ahead.

Savage Echoes

The shock assaults of the Blood Angels are legendary, their warriors never halting for an instant or allowing their foes to recover. Few outside the Chapter realise it, but this is the Blood Angels as they really are, the suppression of their bloodlust lifted for but an instant.

Sons of the Lion

Much like their Primarch, the Dark Angels have a long history of being tactically astute, able to persecute their wars on any front with the appropriate application of their warriors and specialist wings.

• Add 3" to the Move characteristic of RAVENWING models from your army.
• RAVENWING units from your army are eligible to shoot with in a turn in which they Advanced. Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack in a turn in which it Advanced, that attack suffers the penalty incurred to the hit roll as if firing an Assault weapon.

• If your WARLORD is part of this Detachment, this Detachment’s Command Benefits are changed to ‘+3 Command points’.

• You cannot select the Tactical Doctrine to be active for your army more than twice during the battle.
• You cannot select the Assault Doctrine to be active for your army more than three times during the battle.

Abilities

Scions of Guilliman

The Ultramarines and their successor Chapters are strict adherents to the teachings of the Codex Astartes, and as such they typically adopt a flexible combat style that emphasises manoeuvrability without sacrificing firepower.

Abilities

Devastating Charge

The White Scars favour shock assaults, crashing into the enemy with overwhelming force. They are experts at using this high-speed impact to drive their blades home with devastating force and decapitate their prey.

Each Crusade Fleet maintains its own Reclusiam, filled with potent holy relics of the Black Templars. Upon swearing their vows on the eve of battle, a Black Templars squad may be granted the honour of bearing a relic on the battlefield, demonstrating their devotion to the Emperor and to the destruction of his foes.

• For each BLACK TEMPLARS INFANTRY or BLACK TEMPLARS BIKER unit (excluding CHARACTER units) from your army, you can select one upgrade from the list below to give that unit.
• Each upgrade in your army must be unique.
• Once selected, that upgrade must be allocated to one model in that unit, and that model gains the abilities listed. This model should be distinctive from others in the unit, and before each battle you should make it clear to your opponent which model has the upgrade.

Light of the Emperor’s Grace

This elaborate lantern casts a wan light over the bearer and his allies, fortifying them and driving back the darkness.

• Add 1 to the Leadership characteristic of models in this unit.
• This model has the following ability: Light of the Emperor’s Grace (Aura): While an enemy PSYKER unit is within 12" of this model, subtract 1 from Psychic tests taken for that unit.

Sigismund’s Seal

This sheet of paper-thin adamantine is inscribed with an oath of moment taken by Sigismund under the gaze of the Emperor himself.

Holy Orb

Each holy orb is a masterpiece, combining explosives with sacred unguents. When thrown, the orb explodes, superheating the unguents into a cloud of scalding incense. Unbelievers who inhale this are sent into a paroxysm of agony, while they contemplate their many sins.

• Roll one D6: on a 2+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
• Until the end of the turn, that unit is not eligible to fight until after all eligible units from your army have done so.

The Crux Obsidian

This shoulder pad and the carved Chapter emblem it bears symbolise the spirit of the eternal crusade. To wear it upon your armour is to be an avatar of the unbreakable will of the undying Emperor.

Fist of Balthus

This power fist was worn by Brother Balthus, martyred even as he crushed the life from the Daemon Prince Angorakh the Red Herald. Angorakh’s acidic ichor still marks the metal of this weapon, but its strikes are undiminished.

Beastpyre

Reconstructed from a flamer recovered from the ruins of the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant on Armageddon, this weapon has been lovingly reworked to bring purifying flame to the Emperor’s foes once more.

Icon of Heinmann

Castellan Heinmann was martyred at the climax of the Donian Crusade. This icon, worn upon his backpack, symbolized his obstinacy and refusal to fall until his task was complete.

Bones of Mordred

This rough-hewn wooden case contains the hand bones of Mordred, previous Reclusiarch of the Chapter. Those who bear them feel their strikes infused with Mordred’s righteous wrath.
